I am trying to build the tutorial example showing how to call a c++ function from a python script. When I run bjam I get the following message. I am using MSVC++ 2005 Express Edition.

Its contents are below. # MSVC configuration using msvc : 8.0 ; # Python configuration using python : 2.5 : C:/Program Files/Python25 ; ------------------------ I got bjam from boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86. Where should the dll that should be produced go?
